Carpet Replacement...

Question

Our 5'er is 10 yrs old and the carpet is showing its age, and recently have had 2 burn marks thanks to an electric heater. How do we go about finding and replacing the carpet ?? The carpet in the 3 slides are ok, just the "Main" carpet area that needs to be replaced. My wife is also thinking about just removing it and replacing it with a laminated floor rather than carpet. Would this be better ?? Any help would be appreciated.

My then 2yo Montana carpet looked crappy at two years of part-time use.  When I replace it, it will be with a good quality vinyl plank flooring and we'll put down area rugs.  I don't see any need to change the slideout carpet unless it gets damaged, too.

Go to a carpet store....pick out the carpet you want and set up with them to have it installed.
RV will cost more then comparable size in S&B due to layout of RV

WE had the living room, 2 slides out plus kitchen linoleum done
We bought the flooring materials and had an Independent Contractor (Carpet Layers) do the install
Roughly $2k back then ----probably higher now

Ditch the carpet for vinyl plank or laminate.
